I heard you on the wireless back in Fifty Two.
Lying awake intent and tuning in on you.
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through.
Oh-a oh
They took the credit for your second symphony.
Rewritten by machine and new technology,
and now I understand the problems you can see.
Oh-a oh
I met your children
Oh-a oh
What did you tell them?
Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
Pictures came and broke your heart.
Oh-a-a-a oh
And now we meet in an abandoned studio.
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago.
And you remember the jingles used to go...
Oh-a-oh
You were the first one
Oh-a-oh
You were the last one.
Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
In my mind and in my car,
We can't rewind we've gone too far
Oh-a-a-a oh
Oh-a-a-a oh
Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
In my mind and in my car,
We can't rewind we've gone too far,
Pictures came and broke your heart,
Put the blame on VCR
You are a radio star
You are a radio star
Video killed the radio star.(x10 fade out)
(after 4x) You are the radio star (x5 fade out)
Oh-a oh (x6 fade out)
Very cool song. I think it's from 1979, if I'm not wrong. Or can someone tell me what's the year? The song is often positioned as a song in the 80es. Do you know the videoclip starting with a washing machine and moving on to a kind of future studio?
This song is so awsome and I always have sung it at my school. My friends sing it all the time and it stays in your head 4-ev-er . I and my clan of puppets WORSHIP this song.
